A black hairy tongue is caused by too much bacteria or yeast growth in the mouth: the bacteria build up on tiny rounded projections called papillae. These lie along the surface of the tongue. Instead of shedding as they normally do, the papillae start to grow and lengthen, creating hair-like projections.
Antibiotics are one of the most popular culprits of black tongue, since these medications can cause an imbalance in your system, permitting bacteria, yeast, or fungi to develop. Any drug that contains bismuth (one of the primary ingredients in products like Pepto-Bismol) can also increase your risk for black tongue.
